A patient and their family will often ask the most sensible, thoughtful questions and we’ll head to the evidence to find that research doesn’t quite fit the bill. We discuss this in both the abstract ‘what’s the methodological issues here’ bit of Achimedes (https://adc.bmj.com/content/108/4/323.2) and bring it to life via our case of the specialist core exercises system (https://adc.bmj.com/conten...
